Pastor Jeffery talks with Deacon Kruz Herrera about some of the important questions that should be considered by young people looking ahead to a future career, and anyone taking a second look at their current vocation. They discuss Kruz’s own personal background and the lessons (positive and negative) that could be learned from it; the importance of learning self-discipline at a young age; what you wear and other aspects of personal presentation; dealing with awkward people; learning to overcome introversion; encouraging young people to engage with adults; the pros and cons of a large corporate context; the danger of taking advice from people with misaligned incentives and no skin in the game; cultural factors and prejudices that have generated some bad advice in conservative Christian circles; the costs of higher education; the financial realities and risks of entrepreneurship and start-ups; start-ups contrasted with hobbies and side-hustles; whether parents should charge their kids rent; tithing; and other topics.
